The Paradox of the Flame
hat image of the burning bush has always held a strange power for me. A fire that consumes yet doesn't destroy – it’s such a potent symbol. It makes you think about forces beyond our everyday understanding, something raw and vital that defies simple explanation. It feels more profound, somehow, than a deity depicted with a human face, something so much bigger than our limited perceptions. You wonder what it would have been like to truly look upon it, without flinching.

Allowed to Be. Top Story - April 2025. Content Warning.
I wrote this while feeling frustration and anger over the current state of society. I have never understood the determination of some to try to force their beliefs and opinions on others, while still claiming they support freedom and equality. I have studied several religions through my life before finding that Wicca vibes best with my personal opinions and views. Empathy has always been a very strong aspect of my inner self and something I was grateful to been so connected with.

Until I Had None Left To Give. Top Story - April 2025.
So, I already had an entry for this challenge, and would have loved to have done something using my voice, etc., but I do not really have the resources or the budget for that. My first entry was solely the lyrics and structure, with lots of information about how I would have composed it if I had the time, resources, and skills.

Before you read this: Imagine a bus going through a city at night. It's raining, and the windshield wipers are wiping away. A man on the bus feels desolate, lost in his own thoughts. Another man smiles friendly on him, but all our friend sees in his encouraging smile is an understanding of how the world is a bad place.
